An Xbox spokesperson in a statement sent to IGN has confirmed it won't be on the E3 2023 show floor.
While Xbox won't be on the show floor his year, it will host its annual Xbox Games Showcase and Starfield Direct on June 11, which is the same time as E3 2023.
"We can't wait to host our Xbox Games Showcase on June 11 and will share more details later," said the Xbox spokesperson. "We also look forward to co-streaming our event as part of E3 Digital and will not be on the E3 show floor."
Nintendo last month also confirmed it won't attend E3 this year.
"We approach our involvement in any event on a case-by-case basis and are always considering various ways to engage with our fans," said Nintendo at the time. "Since this year’s E3 show didn’t fit into our plans, we have made the decision to not participate. However, we have been and continue to be a strong supporter of the ESA and E3."
Ubisoft did announce it will attend E3 2023.

I think Microsoft missed a good opportunity to have the stage all to themselves n really show the world what they got up there sleeves. With no competition it means all the talk coming from e3 would have been about Xbox which can’t be a bad thing
I honestly have moved on from the stage showings of E3. They were awesome for many years, but they definitely made for a lot of cringe moments, along with historically memorable, but a lot of cringe. And just had a lot of filler with so much talking nonstop. I've come to prefer the digital showcases where it's just games, games, games, with the occasional commentary, but not something that drags for too long.
